According to court filings, an Iowa woman who left her three small children home alone late Thursday night was arrested on endangerment charges after one of the children called 9-1-1 to report that “her mom and dad left and she needed help watching YouTube.” Investigators charge that 23-year-old Natalee Kahl left the children--ages five, three, and one--alone around 10:00 p.m. in the family’s apartment. Police were dispatched to the residence after one of the children called 9-1-1 to report that she needed help watching videos online. Cops estimated that Kahl left the children by themselves for about forty minutes. Kahl returned to the home while officers were inside the residence with her children. Kahl reportedly “admitted to leaving the house to go get her boyfriend from a neighbor’s house” and that her offspring “would not be able to take care of themselves” in case of an emergency. Kahl was arrested on three counts of misdemeanor child endangerment. She also faces a possession of drug paraphernalia rap after cops found a glass pipe with marijuana residue in the home.

A Kentucky State Police trooper, a retired State Police colonel, and a county coroner have been accused of several crimes including transporting moonshine and eyeballs. Scott County Coroner John Goble and retired State Police Lt. Col. Mike Crawford were indicted Thursday on multiple counts of receiving stolen property. The charges stem from the theft of $40,000 worth of ammunition and weapons. State Police began investigating the theft in December and placed Master Trooper Robert M. Harris on unpaid leave. He's accused of providing stolen items to Goble and Crawford. Harris has been indicted on unlawful taking and second-degree forgery. Goble also is accused of transporting a pair of donor eyes and moonshine, as well as possessing 90 Oxycodone tablets. It's unclear if they have lawyers. (https://goo.gl/diSp3k)

Florida court records show that a career criminal somehow stuffed up to eleven liquor bottles at a time down his pants in a booze theft spree that ended with the filing of multiple criminal charges. Investigators allege that 55-year-old Anthony Whitfield swiped nearly $3,000 in alcohol during eight separate thefts over the past two months. Whitfield victimized Walmart, Walgreens, and Publix stores in the St. Petersburg area. Whitfield would stuff the liquor bottles down his pants and then depart the retailers “with a limp that was not present upon entering.” On November 23rd, Whitfield walked out of a Walmart with eleven bottles of Jack Daniels whiskey hidden in his pants. Four days later, Whitfield limped out of a Walgreens with four bottles of Jack Daniels, two bottles of Crown Royal, two bottles of Jameson, and a bottle of Baileys Irish Cream in his pants. When presented with assorted store surveillance footage, Whitfield reportedly identified himself as the thief recorded in the act. Facing multiple felony theft charges, Whitfield is being held in the Pinellas County jail in lieu of $40,000 bond. (https://bit.ly/2LhOIUU)

A Florida Man tried to trade a bag of marijuana for food at a McDonald’s, but was rebuffed by a drive-thru worker who called 9-1-1 to report the unorthodox barter attempt. Cops allege that 23-year-old Anthony Gallagher ordered food at a McDonald’s in Port St. Lucie around 1:30 a.m. When Gallagher pulled his Pontiac up to the drive-thru window, he allegedly “produced a clear plastic bag that contained a green leafy substance” and offered to provide “marijuana in exchange for the food that he ordered.” McDonald’s manager Ghassan Awad declined Gallagher’s request and called 9-1-1. By the time police arrived, Gallagher had left a McDonald’s parking lot. However, around 2:05 a.m., Gallagher returned to the drive-thru line, where he was pointed out to police by Awad. Gallagher’s vehicle was hard to miss since it had a surfboard “protruding through the rear window.” Police reported that Gallagher’s ride reeked of marijuana and that “loose cannabis” was found on the vehicle’s center console. In addition to a possession rap, Gallagher was charged with driving under the influence. (https://bit.ly/2LkO3Ce)

Forswunke (for-SWUNK)
Adjective:
-Exhausted after physical exertion.

Federal court records show a Florida man duped a Texas school district into transferring him nearly $2 million and then used the money to purchase a BMW and Rolex watches. Records show 61-year-old Donald Howard Conkright was arrested last week and charged with wire fraud. He's currently in the custody of U.S. marshals pending his transfer to Texas. A manager for the Crowley school district near Fort Worth, Texas, received an email in October saying a construction company that works as a vendor for the district needed to provide updated banking information. The district owed money to the company and later sent more than $500,000 to a new account. The next day it sent a $1.4 million payment. The district says it contacted authorities after discovering the fraud and began an internal review. (https://nbcnews.to/2R7sMBl)

THIS WEEK'S DEAR JOHN LETTER!
(COMMENTS ARE WELCOME)

Dear John,
I have a friend who invited me to a New Years party a few weeks back. I have turned down other invites because we had made plans. Then I saw on her facebook page that she is doing something else on New Years. She clicked “going” to an event at a local bar. I'm wondering if I should ask if we're still on for our plans or if I should just make other plans. When we made these plans she had been drinking a little, but I don't think she was drunk. What should I do?
